Bb                   F            G#
Going around all the shops always closing

B             C#        D#
Never time to pursue my interests

       G                 (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time

Bb                       D#         D# D#sus2
For a quick taste of the high life?

Bb                         F            G#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem

      B       C#           D#
To affect the high and mighty

      G                (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever

Bb                     D#         D# D#sus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
Bb            F             C#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy

A                        B               C#       B
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world

A          B      A
Lights are in the making

A     B         A
Never see them changing

A      B        C#           Bm
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude] Bb [Verse 2]
Bb                     F          G#
Out in the air, on the top in the open

        B            C#     D#
Conversation is to be expected

      G                 (skip beat)
And I can't form the words

          Bb               D# D#sus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
Bb                    F             C#
My breathing space is limited

     C#           A                               B        C#       B
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below

A      B       A
Always seem to end up

A      B      A
on the road before me

A      B           C#      Bm
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break: |A G F | x 8 Bb [Verse 3]
Bb                    F             G#
Driven around all the shops always closing

          B             C#        D#
And it appears that I've been mended

      G                (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever

Bb                     D#         D# D#sus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
Bb            F             C#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy

A                        B               C#       B
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world

A          B      A
Lights are in the making

A     B         A
Never see them changing

A      B        C#           Bm (let ring)
Always stay the same for me, oh
